SII'EDI.SII P.ll)EitS. S'rocnitekm, Anti& 9.- 7 YesterdaY morning his 'Majesty received an express froM Count Ict.iNds Fort, one of the Lords of the Kingdom,..and General .in Chief in Finland &c. with a Report, of which the following are Eitreas, dated Head-Quarters at l'edersore, March a t " Ihe state of this . Country has, since my last, been_altered in a -remarkable and tinexpetied man ner. The Column which followed the Army, and which has continually troubled our rear-guard as far as the neighbourhood of \Vasa, has not made its ap pearance since our arrival at Toby. " Count CROZ4STEDT reported, on the 23d, from Pulkela, that the column which had operated against him in Savolax, had retreated from Coupeo, through Rautalambi. It seems, therefore, that when, in his verbal report to me, and which I stated im my last report to your Majesty, he mentioned that the Bri gade was harassed as far as Pulkela, it must only have been by light troops, who have afterwards re treated. " Confidential information has been received, that the column, which went through Bautalatubi, Sat gersit and , liarStula, has proceeded to Lappo; and that the column under the conkmand of Colonel ADLERCREUTZ ) has pYoceeded on towards Illinola and Storkgro. " It seems that the Enemy's columns have all of them dire&ed their march towards Wasa. Whether . it was their plan there to surround the army; or whether the Enemy is satisfied _with occupying that part of Finland, which is to the south between Con- - peo and \Vasa, is a difficult matter to decide, as well as whether the mistake, which appears to have been made iii the plan, or in the execution thereat, must be-attributed to . th`e first framing of it, or arises from want of provisions,.&c. In the mean time, Slhere is ne doubt hilt that the army will joio the troops of Savolax. Orders have been sent to Count CaRN STEW; who, agreeable to his last report, is at 'lien borg and Lemmingo, to. proceed with a .considerable part of his men to Fransela, from whence the road leading to Braliesta&Mhy be protetied, and to send the remainder ,of his, net to 4etnininga., And if road to Idcnsaltno be properly reconoitered, the joining of the troops, Cannot ,be prevented or hin• dered by the Enemy . I have (asfar as I have been able) paid with ready money for every thing for the army, with a : v ; iew to economise the provisions, and to make it cootie difficultfor.the Enemy to get any." • STOCKHOLM, A.PitiL, 15. Crib REPORT. , COURT OF KING'S TIENCII, A rkii.-26. • BISli V. DECULMENT. • This was an a&ion for differences in -fr;insaflions in the Stock Exchange, amounting to V.OOOl. and ,upwards. Sir VICARY Gisn's stated, that the Plaintiff was an • eminent stock-broker; and the Defendant a dentist of celebrity. kr„p was also a foreigner, by • the art of making artificial teeth, amassed considerable property, he fancied, by applying him - qelf to the art of stock-jobbing, he should be - able at once to. obtain great wealth. He therefore desired the Plaintiff to purchaSe him scrip to the amount Of 40,0001. ituagin-' ing as Lord Landerdale W5B then . negotiating with the French Government that a Peace - would take place, and he should becoMe a -great gainer by the specu ! lation ; the result, however, proved the reverie, and .finding himself a loser instead of a gainer, he refused, to pay the differences at the'settling day, and the Plaintiff was fixed with the loss. The Learned Counsel added, that he should prove the transaaions to have been bona lifie purchases, and should be en titled to a • rerdi6t. • • " • The Committee of Convoys have, within a few days, bought five ShilSs, which arc to be armed and put to sea at the expellee of this Committee, fir the Trote6tion of the Merchantmen in the Baltic. The _news from the Western Army (the Head-quarters : were :lastly at Eda-Skans) contains the most salls•• ladory of its,:present good condition. - The General, Baron GusTAT M a kuutca AUMSSLDT is Commander-in-Chief; and his. military experience, his. personal • bravery, and:the activity of his, mind, give us the best hopes of -a brilliant campaign, and of bearing of this Army having given proots of the :talent valour of the Swedes. ,The. spieit is, very good in the soldiers,. and the Of fi cers :go to the frontiers with a strong desire to signalize themselves. Courage, and an,' enthusiastic Mil:Won for their King and • Country, seem to have acquiied fresh vigour within a few i mouths. This, added to a pretty general. convidion entertained by the common people, that Swedes never can be beaten by Dates, give us reason to hope the best in that quarter. One detachment is commanded by Major-General Baron. VEGESACK, a' man of , the most undaunted courage, of which he gave repeated proofs during the late war-with Russla. The nephew of the Plaintiff proved the orders given by the Defendant for the purchases of' 'the • stock, and several stuck-brokers were called 'to 'prove she nature oft be transanaions. Considerable ceoluslon, however, ensned. as to whether the bargains were purchases outright, or only • bargains for time ; and as the 'ono is legal and the other illegal, it was agreed to leave the case to reference on that point. If legal; then the Plaintiff ti.) have a vcrdio c if not, then to be nonsuited. THE Timvrac.—The Two Gentlemen of Verona was -represented again last night at Covent-garden Theatre,' and we must again testify our pleasure at the revival of a play which may. tend to restore she taste of the public for the sterling merits of the Bri tish draMa, to rescue us from any importations from the.gloomy philosophy and mischievous sentiment of the German School, as well as from the wild buffoon ery of the present race of writers in this Country. The performance last night was throughout highly respectable. KamaLa was uniformly entitled to high approbation for the feeling, spirit, and energy which he displayed in Valentine. With the liberality that always marks a superior mind, he attended to the hint respeding his manner of receiving the D a re's reproaches, and only exhibited 'an air olgicame, dejeftion, and entreaty. • POPE' again acquitted hini . seif ably in Proteus. Miss Smrrn, Miss NORTON,'MUN DEN,.. LastoN, and BLANCHARD J all contributed .powerfully t'o the general interest and effea of the piece. It was observable that the audience were of a better description than usually attend modern trash, and were much more judicious in the allot ment of applause. • •A Dublin Paper saps—" A fow nights since the 'rafters supporting the gallery of"the Little Tlutatre, in Stafford -street, gave way during the performance, and, the entire carnet() the ground... The scene was distressingly ,whirnsiCal ; such' a confusion of legs, faces, 'capS, hats, sticks, bonnets, &c. 'vas perhaps never before seen ; we have not heard that any seri f ous accident was the consequence." • FARQUHAit, the justly admired comic Nivr , iter, used to say, that his estate' lay within the cii - eurnfrpnee of his hat. There has hardly ever appeared so rapid a declen- SIM of char titer as what the world has seen jn 'the condua of the present EOl/PZlWit' of Rus.Sta. When he brat asiumed the chilies of his , high station, mankind thought they .beheld in him" one of the main props of Civilized life, destined to rescue the op pressed and insulted States of Europe from the grasp of a Tyrant whose ambition . has no hounds. Now we see him sunk into the mean submissive instro— relent of that Tyrant, sharing with him in. the spoils of his Frignd, and Ally the KING of PIItiSSIA, and submitting to the basest arts of .treacberrand cor ruption, in order to accomplish the ruin of the KING Of SWUL/lIN, 'who has rshewn such proofs of va lour, dignity, perseverance, honour, and fortitude, pi would have been an example for Monarchs, even in the b6t of times. From the KtNcs ctt SWEDEN every thing heroic, patriotic, and disinterested may be ex peeted; but unfortunately nothing but the reverse can now be supposect . ta mark the career of the Monarch who is hi, near relation, and, for his own sake, ought to be hisfirmesi friend, hot who is content to appear as his most bitter enemy, and ti e despicable tool of • a man who would be glad to ettett the total ruin of both. How are the miyity In Carlscrona the most vigorous means are taken to proi , ide for:the eqtripment of a second detach ment of the Fleet. There is the greatest activity, and a constant inccession of_sailors and troops.com. ing from the Northern and inner parts of the-K • dom. On the Island of - Aland,. lying between Finland and Sweden, but nearer the shore of Finland, several tires have. been seen, arising from the Russians burn ing their 'Magazines, &c. on leaving - the Island. From the Northern part of Firrland, too, the Rus sians are retiring towards the Southern parts of the Grand Duchy ; and it is not improbable that -nor troops may be able to defend these Northern Pro vinces against a new invtisiOn. The Russian Envoy Count Von TARRACH is to leave Stockholm in a few days. Hu goes to bads . crona ; from which place he will embark on board a Swedish Ship of War on his passage to. Germany. The winter has been very hard till now-it is but a few days since the ice has begun to dimliiish considerably.

The circumstances are as' follow :- . --Yesterday, about eleVen O'clock, a soldier called upon Mr. Beal, who 'keeps the Feat hers public house, in Hart -street, Covent- garden, and addressed him in a familiar manner, 'asking him how he did, &c. Mr. Beal recolleetingbim to have been at bis house often, to visit a soldier who skas lately quarter, ed uphn him, ; ons,%vered in a free way. The soldier , told him he had got plenty of money, and had ac- ' Otally more than 1) . 6 wanted, and took a handful of guineas out of his pocket, and sbewed them to bin. Mr. Beal discovered that he had much more in his pockets, and observing that he had been drinking. freely, with a view to ascertain whether he .had got. the money honestly. as well as to prevent hits from' losing it, questioned him as to how te , hertme sensed of it, as he was not it, a state fit. to take care. of it himself. fie.answered;that,he was. m street tharmornine - :, about. •-six o'clock, nenr Fleet market, when an eklerlyGehtlemao,„wbo hal the dialeB of a YOrkshireinan, came .up to itinv i : and ad dressed him in la farbiliar way, and asked hint' to hold: his purse for him Cilj he returned, which would in, a short time, which heagreed *and be saw the'Cienl• dernan go into a house in zeourt Fleet-sb efg, sup posed to bea house of with a girl .thAt liehad waited full Cum.' hours near the spot; but the Gontle man did not return:- Mr. Belli asked him if he I, iiew how much Money he had . got, And he ans%%„„a is the negative. 'Mr.:Beal ,was much %astonished at the, tale, andadvised him to go again, and try to.tind the Gentleman, which the soldier readily agreed toe, and Mr. Real and a neighbour accompanied hire , the soldier pointed out No. 9, in Black Horse-court, Fleet-street as the house where the Gentleman and girl entered ; but the people of the house deniedithat any such people had been there, and recommended that application should be made at No. 7, in the : same Court, which was done, but. with no :bettor success, They then tried, at the suggestion of the'soldier, house in I:'oppitt's-court, Fleet,street, but could hear no tidings of the Gentleman, Th'ey..then. pro T ceeded on their way back to Mr. Beal'a house ; they had tiot proceeded far before Mr. Beal discovered that pintas. were -dropping . out of the -.soldier's pocket, and t oft exantination, found that he bad a hole in .his :poeket :' he tied up the hole„to ineverkA 'any more beitig I,.st. When they got:.to_ Nlr. house agailv, l: prevailed upon the soldier to ascer tint .hot' ninel, money he had. On searching, his pockets, one hundred, and eighty guineas, were tbund ; • Bank Alotes to the amount of. - #Bl. and, - a promissory note for fifty pounth, which he r Came due ye.sterday, from Messrs. Cliaringain's ;. he prevailed upon him to agree to deposit it in a banker's hands fur safety, and they went to Messrs. Wright and Co. Henrietta-street, Covent -garden, who, after hearing the circumstances, refuSed to take money, and advised Ahem to go to Bow-street Odice, whi c t i they accordingly did, where the soldier pet sisted in the above extrzordinary tale,- and .said he had no more money about him ; but oo • Itivett seat chit% `him, he found more cash upon hint, to the aMonnt of 61. - 325: Cid. On his being asked by the Magistrate what had 'became of the purse he had,said the money was in, he replied it was not in a purse, • but was tied up in a 'pocket-handkerchief, which he produced, nod it proved to be a common red linen One. The account he gave of himself was, that his name is.Josepli Moody ; that he is a seaman by pro feSsion, and was master of the Britannia, Collier _five years, of, which his brother is owner; and about two rears : since he inlisted , intO the 3d Regiment o f .

When the. gaoler was about to take him away; ha held:out his hand to shake hands with Mr. READ. On Monday night an Inquisition was taken by the Coroner, at the Ship public.house, at the bottom of EsJex-street, Strand, on the body of a decent dressed man, name Unknown, found drowned near the stairs at Esiex,-street, the FYI= morning. it appeared the deceased was rirst discovered-lying in the tratd, by a \vornatu ' 'who went to pick pp the coals which 'dropped from the barcr,o4. The tide was out, and the woman imtnediately atArtned the coal porters at work on the craft. '' . .Phebody was then taken to the workhouse to be owned. A wound of large magnitude appeared on the Inrehead ()kale deceased,- which-Seemed to have been received by his falling against a atone. tialf a guinea, a silver watch, and a paper containing a calcu lation of work done by a plumber, were foetal in the pockets of the deceased. The watch had stopped about one o'clock, previous to which it is supposed the deceased fell into the water in a state of intoxica tion. The stairs at the bottom of Essex-street were destroyed. some time since, and any person in a state of intoxication, 'who incautiously went to that part of the water side, during the night, must inevitably fell in. Mrs. Cleaver, the landlady of Aux Ship public•house adjoin i ng the stairs, heard some one pass the windoW tetV after the: house wits Atli up, and then the dog harked. .
